*******************************************************************
*******************************************************************

The Nano-Net conference positions itself at the intersection of two
worlds, i.e., emerging nano-technologies on  one-side, and network/
communication theory on the other  side. The standing question that
this  conference will address  is:  What  are the new communication
paradigms that derive from the transition from micro- to nano-scale
devices? The related degrees of freedom and  constraints associated
with these new technologies will change our notions about efficient
network  and  system design. Nano-Net provides a multi-disciplinary
forum for  the  discussion  of  new techniques in modeling, design,
simulation, and fabrication of network and communication systems at
the nano-scale.

Conference   invites   original technical papers that have not been
previously  published  and  are  not  currently  under  review  for
publication elsewhere.Contributions addressing all subjects related
to nano-technology  and  networking are solicited. Suggested topics
include, but are not limited to, the following:

1.Networks-on-Chip (NoC)
------------------------
Network architectures and topologies, NoC performance and trade-off
analysis, Energy efficiency and power management,CAD flows for NoCs
and MP-SoC platforms, Fault tolerance and reliability issues

2.Innovative System Interconnects
---------------------------------
Nano-technologies  and  devices  for  on-chip  interconnects (CNTs,
semic., metallic and DNA-templated nanowires),Molecular,optical and
wireless interconnects, Interconnects for non-charge-based devices

3.Architectures and Systems for Nano-Networks
---------------------------------------------
Implications  of  nano-networks on processor & memory architectures
New computing paradigms for nano-networks, Hybrid CMOS-nano network
systems, Self-organization in nano-scale systems

4.Novel Information Theory Aspects of Nano-Networks
---------------------------------------------------
Re-configurability of nano-networks, Statistical mechanics approach
to nano-communications, Routing/addressing issues in nano-networks,
Nano-coding, Applications of complex networks theory

5.Modeling, and Simulation of Nano-Networks
-------------------------------------------
Physical  characterization/modeling of nano-scale interconnects and
devices, Fault-tolerant   aspects   of  nano-devices,  Self-healing
properties   of nano-networks, "Nano-CAD", Bio-inspired aspects


IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission :              May 30, 2007
Notification date:             July 15, 2007
Camera ready     :            August 1, 2007


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Prospective  authors  are encouraged to submit a PDF version of the
full paper in English. Papers are limited to 5 two-column pages, in
a font  no smaller than  10-points.  Detailed submission guidelines
are  available  on the conference website: http://www.nanonets.org
Presentation  will  be  either  oral or in poster format, as deemed
appropriate by the Technical Program Committee.

PUBLICATION:

All  submitted  papers  will  be subject to a rigorous peer-review.
Accepted  papers  will  be  published  by  the  ACM in the Nano-Net
Conference  Proceedings,  and  made   available  online through ACM
Digital Library.  A  selected number of high-quality papers will be
considered   for   publication  in  the  ACM  Journal  on  Emerging
Technologies  in  Computing  Systems (JETC). Also,  selected papers
with  a  strong  nanoscale  device component  will  be reviewed for
publication  in  a  Special  Section  of  the  IEEE Transactions on
Nanotechnology. 

SPECIAL SESSIONS:

Proposals  for  Special  Sessions, especially  focusing  on  future
applications  of nano-networks  are  encouraged. Potential  Special
Session organizers should submit  a  proposal of  at  most 5 pages,
including  scope/motivation  of the session, list of invited papers
(still subject to peer-review)  and  short-bio of the organizer(s).
Proposals should be submitted by e-mail to:
special-sessions at nanonets.org
